Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
A blend of documentary and fictional interludes, "The Written Face" takes in the twin traditions of the geisha and of the male Kabuki players who interpret female roles. In this exploration of Japanese theater, the subject matter is articulated through its main focus--Tamasaburo Bando, one of the most renowned performers of the disappearing art of Kabuki.
